Donald Trump's stunted wording of complex issues

[lunatica]

Hillary was the "Worst Secretary of State Ever"

"Disaster" as in The Middle East under Obama, or Hillary

"a mess" as in the Middle East under Obama, out country's condition, be it infrastructure, jobs, taxes, guns, religion, government, etc.

"Look at the polls" In response to all questions about his foul mouth and racial, national or gender insults.

"I'm winning" follows the above phrase like its tail follows the dog around

"They love me" responding to all the aforesaid insults.

"Disgrace" default back-up declaration when not using "a mess" or "Disaster"

"Like you wouldn't believe" Describing the reaction to anything he touches and therefore turns to gold. He's going to make this country "so great that you can't believe it".

"loser" All people not Donald Trump or critical of Donald Trump are losers.

These words and phrases aren't because The Donald has a stunted vocabulary. It's because his followers do.

Every time he says one of these words invariably someone comes along and gushes ecstatically about how he "says it like it is"

His wordage at this point is getting seriously repetitive and I dare say boring. Even Sara Palin has a larger vocabulary that his.

1. being a product of cheap television, he knows the value of a soundbite. it's all he has.

i remember the media calling Gore 'too smart' and his answers were 'too nuanced'. well, donald won't get called on over intelligence.

2. Fourth Grade Level

Yes, you can't help but notice that the words he uses are simple, my guess is around the fourth grade level. I used to write user manuals and always had to check that I kept the language at the eighth grade level which allows far more complex wording and phrases than what Trump is using.

You are right that his followers probably are from lower education and simple word usage groups (probably lower IQ's too). Remember all the misspelled words on the Tea Party signs?

This group probably has a short attention span and could not understand explanations of some of the complex issues that might face a president.

10. Sadly, I've seen plenty of poor grammar and spelling right here on DU.

So there you go.

3. His use of the English language has always been at a middle school level

I've noticed this for years. However, that's about the highest level his supporters can aspire to and most of them lag far behind, at the third grade level or so. To them, he's a genius.

Remember, he hires people do do these things for him, to write his dodgy contracts and ghost write his books.

5. Maybe he should hire someone to teach him new adjectives

Or how to use a thesaurus, or anything involving language...

He even tried to make Jeb look bad for being bi-lingual, as if Jeb needs help in looking bad.

4. Fortunately for Trump, Kevin McCarthy makes him look like a great orator.

I can't believe other outlets haven't picked up Rachel's clips of McCarthy giving speeches. I'm still looking for Hungria on the map.

6. Its right next to the country where they speak Spanian. Or is it Grecian?

9. No, it's over by Ubeki-beki-bekistan

7. I believe

our previous pet had a larger understanding of words than tRump does.
Roxy our pet did't know the word ME at all either

8. And now a study is out saying Trump supporters are the worst at spelling and grammar.

11. He's selling to morans who cannot comprehend anything more than bumper sticker talking points

Plus he's not serious, he's playing the idiots.

[lunatica]

13. Yeah, he's playing the idiots and shows his own idiocy by thinking we're all idiots.

He'd be like President Camacho in Idiocracy.
